if you dont see how pointless this idea is now, ive said all i can say, just wait till may 16. if the prices are down 30 cents then you win. i probably wont pump gass on may 15 though, unless i need it, but it would be some coincidence that that would be the day i need to fill up.
Ok...enlighten me...If this is such a positive thing in your eyes, then elaborate. You may think my view is selfish, but at least I detailed my reasons for why I think it's a problem. You say it's a positive thing but still haven't said why, so until then I'll just look at it as just somebody else wanting to argue; with no point.Quote:

stop buying.
The reason they can charge what they charge is because there are no readily available substitues for what they are selling (unless you mod your car). Stop buying it and the prices will drop for sure.
Im in... no gas the 15 or i just wont buy that whole week what the heck why not.
if people need gas they are going to get it. and besides, think of the millions that have no idea that this may 15th no gas thing might actually happen...
it wont work
Fuck the 15th let's do it now. If it's that simple what the fuck are people waiting for. A little protesting never hurt, especially when it goes in our favor. Because these prices are outrageous!
Its not gonna work
Don't take my suggestions,,see if I care.
How bout. I run my car into a brick wall, therefore making it useless. I will no longer have a car. I will adapt and overcome this obstacle and it will become my regular way of living. I will no longer pollute or be dependent on foreign oil and I will save a shit load of money on payment, insurance, registration and Gas and Maintenance. Ride my bike to work, take the bus if a little further w/ my bike on the front...take the metrolink if a little further with my bike...a little further...the surfliner...even a little further....amtrak, greyhound or any airline carrier. Bringing my bike with me on my journey.
I read the article. Well yeah I guess so, it'd be nice to see a change though.
